Intravenous infusion of magnesium sulfate and its effect on horses with trigeminal-mediated headshaking. [PDF]

, 2019
BackgroundTrigeminal-mediated headshaking results from low-threshold firing of the trigeminal nerve resulting in apparent facial pain. Magnesium may have neuroprotective effects on nerve firing that potentially dampen signs of neuropathic pain.

S-ConvNet: A Shallow Convolutional Neural Network Architecture for Neuromuscular Activity Recognition Using Instantaneous High-Density Surface EMG Images [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
The concept of neuromuscular activity recognition using instantaneous high-density surface electromyography (HD-sEMG) images opens up new avenues for the development of more fluid and natural muscle-computer interfaces. However, the existing approaches employed a very large deep convolutional neural network (ConvNet) architecture and complex training ...

A Static Distributed-parameter Circuit Model Explains Electrical Stimulation on the Neuromuscular System [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
Finite Element Modeling (FEM) has been widely used to model the electric field distribution, to study the interaction between stimulation electrodes and neural tissue. However, due to the insufficient computational capability to represent neural tissue down to an atom-level, the existing FEM fails to model the real electric field that is perpendicular ...
